The Budget Office was recognized for orchestrating support and supplies for the annual St. Patrick’s Day festival. They were also commended for providing the logistical support needed to hire a record 136 officers in 2016. Karen Williams, Cherquila Hicks, and Vernell Mitchell received the award.

Also at today’s ceremony, all officers who worked during Hurricane Matthew were awarded with a Hurricane pin. These pins acknowledge the hard work and sacrifice made by SCMPD officers during the storm, as they worked tirelessly to keep the community safe.
